What Others are Saying

I want to see how I’m doing and make sure my information stays private. FieldRise’s questionnaire was very easy to complete. They suggested how to make more money by adjusting practices to improve my sustainability results.

Some farm sectors point to 30 years of excellent sustainability results, but what happened before doesn’t address today’s need to keep getting better. FieldRise’s system sets a baseline for sustainability progress, which documents our success with supply chain improvement.

We’re seeing increasing need for farmers to know where they stand and to get new ideas to continue improvements. We offered the program to Illinois soybean producers and about 300 questionnaires were completed. That proves farmers are open to the FieldRise approach and supports our association’s Freedom to Operate goals.
